Duration: 4 hours
On board price: € 47 per person
The small, uninhabited island of Delos lies just a few miles from Mykonos and is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece. Delos was once the religious center of the entire Aegean and according to mythology, it was the birthplace of Apollo, the god of music, sun, light, harmony and beauty. Pilgrims from all over Greece and other countries came to pay their respects to the god, bringing gifts and offerings, which made the island a highly respected sanctuary, a position it retained throughout antiquity. In the early 19th century, excavations uncovered the ruins of a whole city on Delos, much of which you can explore. Some of the most important remains include the Naxos marble lions, the three beautiful temples dedicated to Apollo and various houses with splendid mosaic floors. Being a site of outstanding universal value, it is also included in the World Heritage list of UNESCO. Our walking tour will take us around this open-air archaeological site. Transfer from the ship to Mykonos city is included and the excursion ends at Mykonos town.
